New Character: Panda
Roll out the bamboo carpet - Panda is here! This fuzzy, monochrome teddy is paw-sitively set on victory!
Voiced by Tia, our community and marketing manager, Panda is the 13th addition to the Ultimate Chicken Horse roster!
New Skins: The Four Bears
The four bears are here to play! Please welcome Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Black Bear and Blue Bear. (They give great hugs.)
New Levels: Islands and Toxic Tower
On the Islands, enjoy a tropical island paradise by day… and summon the legendary Kraken by night! Stir up some chaos for your friends by ringing the Kraken’s bell, and dodge its deadly tentacles under the moonlight!
In Toxic Tower, explore the remains of a polluted factory! Platform across vats of purple sludge, and time your jumps to avoid the bubbling overflow of toxic waste! (Fun fact: The level was inspired by one of the original game jam levels of water tower from 2014!)
New Outfits
Check out Panda and the four Bears’ outfits as they suit up for adventure!
- Viking Hat and Viking Suit: Ready to take on the world, and look cute doing it.
- Mail Hat and Mail Bag: Special delivery! We come bear-ing gifts.
New Merchandise
We’re releasing new Ultimate Chicken Horse merchandise to celebrate the Bears’ arrival and 8 years of the game!
The new merch releases on May 13 at the same time as the Pandamonium Update!
Beary Build Event
We’re hosting another custom building event for the Pandamonium Update! Send us your bear-themed custom levels and we’ll feature them in Ultimate Chicken Horse!
Submit your levels to us by publishing your level and sharing the level code in the Steam comments by 11 PM Pacific Time on May 16. It can be a Party or Challenge level.
To make a custom level, go to the Treehouse lobby. Open the pause menu and click the arrows to change your game mode from "Party Mode" to "Free Play Mode". Then go to the underground area of the Treehouse and move to the left to the "Blank Level" section. Now you can make a level!
Need some inspiration? (These are only suggestions!)
- Any of the new Bear characters (Panda, Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Black Bear, Blue Bear)
- Honey and honeycombs, bees, fish, berries, bamboo, pastries
- Picnics in the park, forests, camp sites, mountain caves, cozy dens
- Colors: Monochrome (black and white), brown, blue
- Anything else you can come up with!
We're super proud to have such a dedicated community 8 years into development! Thank you for playing Ultimate Chicken Horse and sharing our silly animals with your friends. Have a bear-illiant time with this new update!
